About 3 years ago my grandma died of cancer. She pushed so far to try to beat the cancer but it was too late. The cancer had already broken her down and within a week she was gone. For a while I was sad and wanted to drown in my sorrow but I knew that’s not what my grandma would’ve wanted me to do so I pushed myself to be strong and not let her death bring me down.

My grandma’s death may have made me sad but it happened for a reason and though she pushed through cancer as long as she did, she’s lucky she didn’t have to suffer. ociated by feelings of loss and/or despair.
